LOVE OF?... MONEY OR SCIENCE

In order
to save a few bucks and his enjoyment in participating in scientific research,
a Las Vegas man is willing to lose something very precious. Guess!...

...................................................

That’s
right you guessed it wrong. This man is willing to donate -- one of his testicles.

Mark
Parisi is a self-proclaimed tightwad who is so cheap that he is willing to have
one of his nuts removed in return for some bucks… Believe me when I say Mark is
doing this for just $35,000.

"What
you do is you go in and you donate one of your testicles, they replace it with
an artificial one and when you check out after 14 days you get a check for
$35,000," Parisi said on an episode of the TLC series "Extreme
Tightwads".

When he's
not selling his balls, Parisi works as a marketer for an upscale coffee shop
and bakery. He says participating in clinical trials helps him avoid spending
his full-time salary.

There are
other advantages to being a human Guinea pig: He gets free checkups, which can
save him around $700.

Parisi
estimates he's saved more than $150,000 over the past two years by
participating in other medical studies, including an Ebola virus study that
paid $5,000 a week. In this study, a virus with an untested vaccine was
injected into Parisi and the vaccine administered thereafter. Fortunately for
this dare-devil who could have been dead, the cure worked.
